I Am Half Sick Of Shadows (Flavia de Luce #4) by Alan Bradley

Loved this Christmas mystery. You can't go wrong with an 11 year old girl and poison when writing a book if you are Alan Bradley. The author surprises me every time with his ability to get into the mind of a little girl and make her so smart in some things and so naive in other things, like how babies are born but knowing how to make homemade fireworks. Or if Santa is real but then noticing the smallest details on a dead body that even the police miss. It was another great book and hard to put down. I can't wait to read the next one in the series!
